WHY YOU NEED THIS?
A common issue with older shower faucets is only cold, or only hot water coming out of the faucet or shower head. This often happens with showers that are not used very often, or where the water supply is particularly hard or has high levels of contaminants.
This balancing spool valve contains a piston which moves back and forth maintaining a given temperature even if the pressure on the cold side is reduced, for example someone flushes a toilet when the shower is in use.
It prevents a sudden blast of hot water which can lead to burns. When you suddenly experience only the cold or hot water flowing regardless of where you set the flow handle, this valve is almost always the culprit.
The piston which is inside the balancing spool will get stuck in one position or the other. When this happens, it essentially shuts off flow to either the hot or cold side. Poor water quality and age will eventually cause the piston to get stuck in its bore.
With 1423 Balancing Spool Replacement Tool , you will not meet this problem any more!
Easy to Remove and Install
You will need to use a VERY large screw driver to unscrew the valve. Make sure you shut off your water first! You can also use a straight-edge piece of metal clamped in vice grips if you do not have a large enough screw driver.
After remove it, just insert the 1423 balacing spool into the place, screw it.
Then, Turn the water back on and test the faucet, you should now have hot and cold water. Saving time and money!!!!!
